GLOBAL WAR ALERT: Iran Declares ‘No Sanctuary’ — American Soldiers Hiding in Luxury Hotels Will Still Be TARGETED as Middle East Teeters on Full-Scale Conflict!”
At least 555 people have been killed in US-Israeli strikes across Iran, the Iranian Red Crescent Society says, amid another wave of intensive attacks and Iranian counterstrikes on Israel and United States assets in the Middle East region.
At least 35 people were killed on Monday morning in southern Iran’s Fars province, according to the Mehr news agency. The outlet also reported more than 20 people killed in an attack on Niloofar Square in Tehran.
The Fars news agency said at least two people were killed in the central city of Sanandaj as several residential buildings next to the city’s police station were destroyed. The Tasnim news agency said US and Israeli forces dropped six missiles on different parts of the city, including densely populated neighbourhoods.
Reza Najafi, Iran’s ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog, told reporters that US-Israeli air strikes had targeted Iran’s Natanz nuclear enrichment site on Sunday.
“Their justification that Iran wants to develop nuclear weapons is simply a big lie,” Najafi said, describing the facility as “peaceful”.
Israel and the US have not issued any statements confirming strikes at the site, which the US bombed during the 12-day war between Iran and Israel in June.

Al Jazeera’s Tohid Asadi, reporting from the Iranian capital, said there was growing concern over the rising civilian death toll.
“This shows the scope of the attacks on Iran, with raids targeting not just political centres and military headquarters,” he said. “We are witnessing damage to civilian buildings, with some of them fully demolished in some cases. And this is concerning because the civilian fatalities are growing.”
